Abstract The increasing expansion of urban areas leads to the emergence new noisy environments that can affect animal communication. Calls play a crucial role in mating displays anurans, and negative impact anthropogenic noise-induced auditory masking has been reported several species. We investigated acoustic variation 96 males (n = 971 calls) treefrog Boana pulchella across acoustically undisturbed sites different noise conditions, associated with (URBAN) roads (ROAD), Central Argentina. analyzed effect conditions on 6 temporal (call duration [CD], intercall interval, first second note duration, internote call rate) 3 spectral (dominant frequency note, difference between them) properties. effects temperature size acoustical variables were controlled. observed differences all attributes among except for interval.

Understanding how animals adapt is mitigating adverse urbanization their communication systems. Future investigations should explore whether adjustments are effective avoiding or consequences reproductive success.

Anthropogenic noise is widespread in nature and has been shown to produce a plethora of impacts on wildlife. Sounds play fundamental role the lives amphibians, with species relying acoustic communication for social reproductive behaviour, thus can potentially interfere these activities. Here, we provide literature review effects anthropogenic anuran based 32 studies (63 from 14 families) that document noise-driven changes physiology ecology caused by urbanisation, transportation energy production. Experimental observational found evidence both airborne seismic influence calling activity, consequences mate selection, induce physiological including increased stress, suppressed immune function colouration changes. Negative abundance attendance over season were reported. Even though adaptations behavioural adjustments enable respond noises, it yet be understood whether alleviate negative impacts. Furthermore, collaborative efforts between scientists, stakeholders private/public institutions are imperative create conservation guidelines legal instruments implemented during urban expansion projects mitigate pollution amphibian anurans.

As the advantages of wind energy as an eco-friendly strategy for power generation continue to be revealed, number offshore farms also increases worldwide. However, turbines can induce behavioral and physiological responses in animals by emitting various types noises. In this study, we investigated behavioral, physiological, immunological male Japanese tree frogs (Dryophytes japonicus) when exposed turbine noise. To determine effects during breeding season, were collected from areas with without turbines. Additionally, recorded noise at a site generator 1 h 24 analyze short-term effects. Three calling patterns (dominant frequency, note duration, call rate) analyzed investigate responses. Physiological assessed using two steroid hormones assays, namely testosterone corticosterone detection saliva. The immunity each individual was bacterial killing assay. group field had higher rate levels lower than present, all three these variables correlated other. Conversely, exposure experiment, only observed post-exposure compared pre-exposure. Thus, seems decreased increase investment that triggers response rather acting sole leads direct corticosterone.

Abstract Acoustic communication in animals can be affected by multiple biotic (intra and interspecific) abiotic (e.g., wind rain) natural noises. In addition, human beings produce additional novel sources of noise, which reduce or inhibit the reception acoustic signals conspecifics, leading to behavioral changes. this study, we investigated whether sound conspecifics road noise additively affect parameters advertisement call males a Yellow Heart‐tongued Frog ( Phyllodytes luteolus ).

Abstract Urban environments expose wildlife to levels of anthropogenic noise they would not experience in rural areas (e.g., traffic noise), and research suggests that many species adjust their acoustic signals for optimal transmission urban soundscapes. However, our understanding anuran (order Anura) responses pollution the southeastern United States is limited, particularly can breed during winter. Our goal was examine how vocal advertisement call characteristics winter varied with increasing distance from roadways bottomland hardwoods Louisiana, USA.
